Hi. The 11.24 from SOL is, realistically, the last service to get to Wembley a reasonable time before kick-off. Generally, from the midlands, the 168s are the only services to stop at Wembley on event days, along with half-hourly scheduled services to and from Marylebone. If we do use...
If you travel down to Solihull (SOL) parking will only be £2 for the day and the clubman trains will likely be stopping at Wembley Stadium station before and after the match. You can still catch a loco-hauled service to Marylebone and travel back nearer to kick-off. That's what my son and I...

According to the plans, the west dock will be filled in with surface water catchment tanks and 'services'. The east dock is to be retained. The east dock was used for the newspaper trains in the 60's & 70's. My late grandfather used to collect them from there in the early hours of the morning.
In actual fact, I watched this service depart Worcester Foregate Street (WOF) this very morning. Mind you , it had an upgrade to a 3-car 158/9 for today.

A look at Open Train Times for Tamworth will show a number of XC Voyagers bound for Barton Under Needwood Rsmd. Mainly between 22.15 and 23.50. Some Virgin Voyagers too! There is a similar procession in the mornings with the occasional triple sets running. Could give nightmares to some posters...
